Editing Corey Yuen (section)

===Later and American works===
Once Li gained stardom in American cinemas beginning with 1998 film ''[[Lethal Weapon 4]]'', Yuen's action direction also received fame in the West. He worked in the 2000 blockbuster ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' as an action director, and he would also handle the martial arts and action sequences in six of Jet Li's other English-language works: ''[[Romeo Must Die]]'', ''[[Kiss of the Dragon]]'', ''[[The One (2001 film)|The One]]'', ''[[Cradle 2 the Grave]]'', ''[[War (2007 film)|War]]'', and ''[[The Expendables (2010 film)|The Expendables]]''.

He also directed ''[[So Close (film)|So Close]]'', released in 2002. That same year he was the fight choreographer and second unit director for ''[[The Transporter]]'', having initially been hired as the main director, returning for its 2005 sequel ''[[Transporter 2]]''. He held the same positions on both films, however in the United States release he is credited as the first film's director due to being a more marketable name than first time filmmaker [[Louis Leterrier]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2005-sep-02-et-leterrier2-story.html|title=An action hero angle|first=Chris|last=Lee|work=[[Los Angeles Times]]|date=September 2, 2005}}</ref>
